Fic Update and Life Update

[amberfocus]

So even though I have been utterly and completely blocked on Hunger Moon for...oh, far longer than I even care to think of, the entire plot of Chaste Moon (which is book 3 in the BWY universe) has sprung fully formed into my head over the course of the last week while I was struggling to write anything.  I have character names and personalities, settings, planetary laws and customs and two chapters that take place in the middle written, around which it will be very easy to write forward and backward from.  There is also the very inkling of what is going to happen in the next chapter of Hunger Moon beginning to form in my mind.  It's very elusive at the moment, like pulling wisps of fog together, but at least I can sort of sense it beginning to coalesce together in my head.  After all I have to finish HM before I can even think of posting CM.  Incentive, in a way, I suppose.

And Zeppelins and Donna have stopped being so stubborn and I've been able to start on the next chapter of that.  I can't promise anything before the end of the weekend unless I get going on a real writing spree.  And there isn't going to be any real smut for a while because we are going to be moving heavily back into the plot.  There will always be implied smut, though. *grins*  It is Jonathon and Rose after all.

The dance recital is this weekend with dress rehearsals today and tomorrow afternoon and then showings Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening.  I will be very glad when this is over and I don't have to think about it again for ages.  It's a bit stressful.

On the homeschool front Tobias has one thing left to do, the semester review and assessment in history.  Well, we've done the review once but I want to do it again just to be sure.  Then he is officially done.  Rose still has a ways to go but she is making steady progress.  And with Tobias done I have a lot more time to help her if she needs it.

*is excited*

Ooooo Chaste Moon! :D It's been so long since I've read your post with the basic outline of the whole series. I'm happy to hear of the beginnings of the BWY muse's return. Oh and I'm glad you're switching back to heavy plot on Zeppelins (not that smut isn't, well, awesome XD) my brain has been nagging to see where it's all going. :D

And wow your life sounds so much more stressful than mine, right now. Then again, you'd be hard pressed to find someone with a slower day than me at the moment. Good luck with everything!

I know Zeppelins must have been driving you crazy given what you knew. But yes, lots of good plot for Book 3 in BWY. I just have to figure out the rest of Book 2.

*insert SQUEE! here*

Hunger Moon! Much as I love Zeppelins, I can't wait for more of that lovely series! Must be my Nine bias peeking out.....

Well, Zeppelins has 6 chapters to go now and it will be done. Then I'm going to finish up the last 9 chapters of You're What? and after that I'm pretty sure Hunger Moon will have my undivided attention.

Zeppelins Smut implied or otherwise is always acceptable to the Sisters here in the Temple. And the news about Hunger Moon is also of the Sister Squee Making Variety. Long may the muse linger and may the GUH be always with you.

Thank you.

I was a homeschooled kid for awhile, and I homeschooled our son for awhile. It's interesting how there's no clear "end of the year," it's just a matter of when you finish your schoolwork for the year.

Although, if I were doing it all over again, I'd use the Switched on Schoolhouse software which would keep things a bit more organized for us. I've set their software up on my friends' computers multiple times and I love what a great system it is for keeping a good schedule going. The organized schedule was always an issue for me to stick to, lol. ;-) Sounds like you do a lot better than I did!

We're using the virtual school system of Washington Virtual Academy using the K-12 software program, so organization is definitely not an issue. It's basically a public school program at home and it's fully accredited, and it's free. It's a better education actually than what is offered in our local public schools though. Both kids are doing work that is at least a year past the curriculums at our local schools.

Glad to hear your muses have returned. Think Children of the Vortex might get an update?

Good news that your home schooling is wrapping up. That should be a load off your shoulders. You've got so much going on right now. I'm amazed that you can hear your muses at all. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

My current order of fics to finish:
1. Zeppelins
2. You're What?
3. Hunger Moon
4. Of the Vortex Born

So you can see I do plan on finishing it. It might switch places with Hunger Moon if I can't get it moving again though. I know how Vortex ends. It's just a question of getting there.
